The Bastard Phantom Frypan

The Phantom Steel Pan is a versatile, high-quality pan. By nitriding the surface, the pan is hard, rust-proof and will last for years.

In addition, the Steel Pan also has non-stick properties.

Regular seasoning/firing with peanut oil or rice oil is recommended!

The diameter of the pan is 28 cm, and the length of the pan is 49 cm.

Maintenance

Avoid the dishwasher! But a true Bastard just washes it by hand. Keeping the Phantom Frypan greasy in light frying will give you the best results. Should the pan accidentally end up in the dishwasher, this is no problem at all. Lightly bake again and you can get back to preparing epic dishes!

Cleaning

Preferably not with soap, as this can soak into the pan. If necessary, use a scouring pad or steel wool, but be careful not to damage the pan.

Thoroughly dry

Dry the pan well, it must be completely dry before frying. To be sure, leave the pan on the stove for a while to dry out completely.

Apply oil

Apply a thin layer of neutral oil (e.g. groundnut, sunflower or linseed oil) to the pan. It is better to use several thin layers than fewer thick ones.

Reheating

Heat the pan hot until the oil starts to smoke. Then leave the pan for a while until the oil has dissolved and the pan is dry again.

Cool

Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool completely.

Repeat

Now clean the pan well with hot water (no soap) Repeat the steps several times. The more often you repeat these steps, the better your patina will become.

Caution! Do not wash the pan with soap after firing, as the soap will remove the patina. Once the pan has been washed with soap, you will notice your products sticking to the pan again. So clean the pan completely and repeat the firing process.
